Airbus A320 inspired Throttle Quadrant for flight simulator

100% functional A320 throttle quadrant for flight simulator.

It's my own design, made for myself. Sold many of them on my country but now I'm not able to continuie with the project so I decided to open it.

I made a full instructive with pictures and step by step indications for assembly after all parts al printed. You can check out the entire instructive here:

So you can evaluate you assembly skills! But you should know that having all the printed pieces and required things makes it a lot easier than it looks like.

You can build 2 versions of it with different needs:

basic (simple connections, works with every sim): thrust, gear, flaps and speedbrake control.

full (basic controls + full autopilot control with 1 rotary encoder and 1 rotary switch, 2 buttons and 2 switches. Notice that autopilot control works only in MSFS!!!)

All pieces printed in PLA with 0.3 layer height, 20% infill, 1.2mm wall thickness, 60mm/s. But you can change this for sure.

What you will need (know before you buy):

Notice that in the instructive you have pictures of every thing you have to buy. You can get them in any hardware and electronics store. Or Aliexpress if you want it cheaper :D

-1x ARDUINO LEONARDO compatible board with USB cable

-A bunch of 15cm Arduino cables (male-female)

-About 2m of 0.25mm cable (unipolar)

-About 0.5m of 3mm shrinkable tube

-Optional: basic soldering capabilities (although you can use only terminals for all needed connections, a bit of soldering is recommended to ensure proper contact and avoid terminal looseness)

-2m 1/8" threaded rod

-16x nuts for the threaded rods

-4x 10k linear potentiometer (short shaft as shown below is better)

-1x 608zz cheap ball bearing

-9mm diameter light spring (quantity depends on length and stiffness but 2 should be enough)

-2x M5 30mm screw for clamps

-1x M5 20-25mm screw with locking nut and 7 washers

-Provided labels printed

-Optional: 8x 1/4" screws for the back cover (you may leave it open)

For full version, add:

-2x small 2-pin switches

-2x 2-pin momentary buttons

-1x ky-040 rotary encoder (with threaded base)

-1x 5 position rotary switch selector (1 pole is enough)

Size is about 30cm x 25cm x 15cm. Weight 1kg.

Shown video is for B737 version, but the idea is the same. B737 is not available yet on cults3d.
